A Data Scientist Hikes the Manifold
<p>In March 2020, amidst the Coronavirus outbreak, the health minister imposed travel restrictions, confining individuals to a one-hundred-meter radius around their homes. To address the challenge of accurately gauging this distance, the government introduced a mobile application utilizing latitude and longitude lines for calculation. While this method suffices for flat terrain and on a global scale where Earth’s curvature is inconsequential, residing in hilly terrain introduces an additional factor — altitude. This geographical nuance allowed me to extend my walks within the confines of the restriction, prompting a deeper exploration of the interpretation of a hundred meters in terms of various metric units.</p>
